Trump Warns Israel: 'No Destabilization' of Syria's 'New Leadership'
According to Al-Monitor, Donald Trump advised Israel to avoid destabilizing Syria's 'new leadership,' despite a recent Israeli operation killing 13. This from a former President whose administration spent years trying to destabilize Syria’s previous leadership, while simultaneously validating Israeli airstrikes against it. The hypocrisy is stunning: one can almost hear the crickets chirping from
mainstream media outlets that typically celebrate any 'strong' stance against perceived adversaries but now tiptoe around this glaring double standard. This isn't about peace; it's about shifting geopolitical chess pieces. Trump's 'concern' for 'Syria’s evolution into a prosperous State' conveniently glosses over decades of US-backed proxy wars that ensured Syria remained anything but prosperous.
The same week Trump extended this 'warning', Prime Minister Netanyahu received an invitation to the White House – a clear signal that, despite the rhetorical slap, business as usual, which includes billions in unconditional US aid, will continue. It begs the question: How many 'strong warnings' does one get before anyone actually changes course, or is this just another theatrical performance for
the cameras?
